As a Facilities – Soft Services – General Assistant, you will be an integral part of Atlas, supporting the delivery of high-quality soft services across multiple Atlas locations within the Bath & North East Somerset area. Working closely with the Soft Services Team Leader and wider Facilities colleagues, you will help ensure Atlas environments are safe, clean, well-organised and fully compliant with required standards.

This is a varied, hands-on role covering cleaning, catering and portering, supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of Atlas sites.

Your responsibilities will include routine, periodic and reactive cleaning across a range of operational areas, supporting food and drink services, managing stock and goods-in, and transporting equipment and supplies between Atlas locations using a company vehicle.

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in maintaining high standards, and understands the importance of teamwork in a fast-paced environment. You will receive full training, including mandatory health and safety, infection control and cleaning techniques, and will be supported to complete relevant qualifications where required.

At Atlas, our values underpin everything we do. In this role, you will be expected to demonstrate Care, Think and Do in how you approach your work, your colleagues and the environments you support.

You are reliable, practical and take pride in doing your job properly. You understand the importance of maintaining clean, safe and well-run environments and are happy to support a wide range of operational tasks.

You will ideally have experience in cleaning, catering or portering within a commercial or operational setting, along with a flexible and positive approach to work. You are comfortable carrying out physically demanding tasks, managing your time effectively, and adapting to changing priorities.

You communicate clearly, follow procedures carefully, and understand the importance of confidentiality, infection control and health & safety. A full UK driving licence is essential, as the role involves travel between Atlas locations.

Successful candidates will be required to agree to an Enhanced DBS check and to complete all relevant pre-employment and compliance checks in line with Atlas policies.

You are also willing to undertake further training, including NVQ Level 3 Food Hygiene if not already qualified, and you take responsibility for maintaining your skills and knowledge.

Most importantly, you are someone who:

• Cares about quality and doing things the right way
• Thinks about safety, consistency and continuous improvement
• Does what needs to be done to support Atlas operations and colleagues

If you are looking for a practical, hands-on role where your contribution is valued and you can be part of a supportive, values-led organisation, this could be the role for you.
